The UK has just recorded its second warmest summer on record.

Will we get the same here in NZ?

yer it looks like a weak el Nino is staring to form and we all know what that means for Nz summers

But this is no ordinary El Nino. Its late starting (almost unprecedented in the historical record if it does develop to any significant degree), and the current modelling suggests it will remain very weak (ie only marginally a true El Nino event ) over the summer and into autumn. I would suggest then, that there is a greater chance that this El Nino may not show the typical climate patterns we normally expect from these events. All bets are off I think.

The UK has just recorded its second warmest summer on record.

I'm in London, very dry here.
Afternoon temps around 28C (very nice) over the past two days which is very warm for London mid september. The locals say it's global warming, I wish some global warming would reach Auckland.

too much ocean around NZ...ocean temperatures would need to warm alot to give us warmer weather.....(the northern hemisphere has big land masses that heat up (as most wil realise, just talking out loud here)
but if we got more northerly winds in summer, then that would help rise the temperatures

Australia makes the weather colder here as it seems to create anticyclones and then the hotter the northerlies in Australia gets the colder it gets here and lifts the anticyclone north.If Australia was the same distance east of here instead of west,it would probably be more humid and warmer as it would hold the lows up in what was the tasman

We can only hope.

I'm now in Dublin.
Golden weather continues in this part of the world under a south to Southwest flow.
Thunderstorm over London wends night.

Not very often would we see Edinburgh and Dunedin both hitting 25Â°C in the same week!!!!
